Letter grades are not a time-honored feature of education. They’re a late 19th century invention born from an increasingly bureaucratic culture. The entirety of the scientific revolution transpired in a world without grades and yet people were still motivated to learn cool stuff!

1/4: In 2019, I wrote a @nytimes op-ed critical of Kamala Harris on criminal justice issues. In the last week every media outlet you can think of has asked me to "comment" on her candidacy. Here you go: Dems--all of us--need to make sure that Kamala Harris wins the presidency.

@RobinCogan @JHUNursing Thanks Robin! A school nurse in every school and a nurse in every neighborhood/community/census tract!

We are reimagining nursing education so our next generation of nursing students graduate prepared to work with communities, "What I did as a school nurse is a model replicable across the age-span & across our nation's 84,000 census tracts." https://t.co/UpKyk5G9o9 @JHUNursing
